Its job is to break down the disulfide bonds in the lash hair — the chemical bridges that give the lash its natural shape — so the lash can be reshaped around the shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCysteamine does this more gently than TGA (thioglycolic acid), the traditional lash lift ingredient. The process is slower and more controlled, which means less likelihood of overprocessing and a more forgiving experience — especially for finer, fragile, or previously lifted lashes. The copper peptides are working while Step 1 processes: protecting the lash and follicle from chemical stress, and conditioning the structure for improved integrity over time. This isn't a conditioning add-on. It's built into the lifting formula itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks on both lashes and brows. Processing time: 7–15 minutes depending on lash type and thickness. Results last 6–8 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes in an airless bottle. Airless packaging prevents oxidation of the active ingredients — especially important for cysteamine and copper peptides, which degrade when exposed to air.
